Gleevec and Spiriva drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Gleevec (imatinib mesylate) and Spiriva (tiotropium bromide monohydrate). Common drug interactions include decreased appetite among females and dyspnoea among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Gleevec and Spiriva. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 68 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
